SAAMI - Sporting Ammunition and the Fire Fighter
This is a fantastic video. Over 400,000 rounds used in these demonstrations. They dispel many of the myths of ammunition reaction to fire.

Nice, I've seen earlier test conducted by Sandia Labs that showed basically the same thing.

The video confirmed what I already believed to be the case but was nice to see it happen. I wish they had done a gunpowder container test such as one to four pound canisters of common gunpowder. I rather suspect if say forty pounds of mixed gunpowder in a non contained environment were subjected to a fire you would have a intense but localized fire with no explosion. Thanks for posting the vid!

Ever seen the propellant cook off in a tank fire?
Looks about like that.
Black Powder on the other hand...
